Beschreibung

This is the first collection of ethnographic studies that critiques diagnosis across multiple categories of disease and illness. Smith-Morris's Introduction repositions diagnosis within critical studies of global health. The authors question specific diagnoses (e.g., HIV, tuberculosis, and andropause) as well as the structural and epistemological factors behind a disease's naming and experience.
